摘要

The optimal treatment for poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) remains controversial. This study compared outcomes of microsurgical treatment (MST) and endovascular treatment (EVT) in poor-grade aSAH. We consecutively enrolled patients with poor-grade aSAH admitted to the Chinese Multicenter Aneurysm Database (CMAD) between January 2017 and December 2020. After 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM), clinical outcomes and in-hospital complications were compared between MST and EVT. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) assessed outcome associations; Kaplan–Meier and Cox models analyzed survival and mortality predictors. Of 1,008 patients, 373 MST cases were matched to 373 EVT cases. Mortality was similar between groups (28.1% vs. 27.5%, p = 0.075). EVT was associated with lower rates of dependent survival at discharge (41.8% vs. 59.1%, adjusted OR 0.584, p < 0.001) and at 2 years (21.3% vs. 31.8%, adjusted OR 0.574, p = 0.026), shorter length of stay (17 vs. 20 days, adjusted OR 0.053, p = 0.025), and fewer intracranial infections (4.8% vs. 13.9%, adjusted OR 0.248, p = 0.001). However, hydrocephalus was more frequent in the EVT group (9.7% vs. 4.6%, adjusted OR 2.294, p = 0.001). Risk factors for mortality differed between groups. In this multicenter observational cohort of patients with poor-grade aSAH, MST and EVT were associated with similar survival, whereas EVT was associated with more favorable functional outcomes, shorter hospitalization, and fewer intracranial infections, but a higher incidence of hydrocephalus. These findings support individualized treatment selection while highlighting the need for cautious interpretation given potential residual confounding.
